Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz not opened in 48 hours

[rollin74]

US President Donald Trump threatens to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump writes on Truth Social.

The US has refrained from targeting Iran energy sites to date amid fears of such a step’s impact on the global economy

11. The Best Summary of How to Win Friends and Influence People

This goes to a link with a 2 minute read, bringing up the bullet points of Carnegie's book. It is too woke for republicans in general, and likely on a banned book list for elected Republicans.

Criticism
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

That reminds me of this famous quote by Thomas Carlyle: “A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men.”

12. He really wants to kill us all, doesn't he?

[womanofthehills]

17. He does!!

Even Jeffrey Epstein said he was the most evil man he ever met and Epstein hung out with evil. And our FBI and CIA are all compromised. We are screwed. I’m sure many politicians aren’t speaking out as much as we want them to for fear they will meet a fate like Charlie Kirk. Republicans are big into threatening each others lives. Tucker said Netanyahu called and threatened him personally.
